> SAFETY CORNER SPINAL INJURIES UP AMONG U.S. TROOPS Afghan insurgents are using roadside bombs powerful enough to throw the military's new 14-ton, blast-resistant vehicles into the air, increasing broken-back injuries among U.S. troops. Doctors at the U.S. military hospital here say more than 100 U.S. service members have suffered crushed or damaged spinal columns from being thrown around inside armored Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles in the last five months. This "significant increase" in spinal injuries was not seen in the Iraq war. Today one in five wounded service members evacuated from Afghanistan this summer and early fall suffered a spinal injury and at least 14 were left paralyzed or with loss of sensation.[ more ]

> SANDAG'S 5-1-1 MOBILE CALL BOX PROGRAM A motorist with a cellular phone who runs out of gas, needs a tow, or needs other motorist aid services can simply take the following steps:

Determine where he or she is located by Highway number and nearest exit, or other landmark.
2. Pull over to a safe place.
3. Dial 511.
4. Say “Roadside Assistance”.

That’s it! The 511 system will then direct these calls to the Call Box Answer Center, which handles them
as call box calls are currently handled, including any necessary transfers to the California Highway
Patrol, AAA, Manufacturer Help Line or other source of assistance.

> SWINE FLU AND YOU Recently there have been a number of cases of swine flu reported in the media. The Department of Defense and all segments of the U.S. government are working along with our international partners to lessen the impact of swine flu.

Swine flu is influenza that occurs in pigs. People do not normally get swine flu but human infections can occur. The most recent cases of swine flu appear to have the ability to be passed from person to person and have resulted in a number of cases in the United States as well as widespread disease in certain parts of Mexico. It is likely that this swine flu will spread to many if not all parts of the United States.

> BINGE DRINKING There is nothing wrong with drinking alcohol in moderation, but the key is: If you drink, drink responsibly.

Admittedly, the Services can't stop every instance of alcohol abuse, whether you are in your BEQ room or off base hanging out with your friends. To try and do this would be impossible, but what the services can do is provide you with the necessary leadership and information you need if you or someone you know is experiencing substance abuse problems.
